[trebleshot]

Saw them at my local TRU this weekend and am sorely disappointed, almost to the point of frustration. When I first saw them, I was dead set on getting Hal and Kilowag figures. Then I actually held them in my hands. Ugh.

The 4" figures are like a step back into the early 90's in terms of articulation. Six points, that's it: neck, shoulders, waist and hips.

The Movie Masters versions were better, but still the same basic setup that the other DCUC figures had (at least for the humanoid figures). Also, the back of the package shows the Parallax parts available with the first three GL MM releases (Hal, Tomar and Rop), but has the rest of it, including his head, in shadow. You know, to keep him secret until his reveal in the movie, right? Then I saw that "Final Showdown" 2-pack with Hal and Parallax.

..........*sigh*

As far as the sculpts go, both the 4" and 6" figures were pretty accurate to what I've seen in trailers, though the MM are better detailed. And they are keeping scale within the 4" line, since Kilowag is about 1.5 heads taller than Hal from what I can tell.

At my TRU, the 4" figures were $8.99 each and the 6" figures were $14.99. Didn't bother price-checking anything else.

That's what burns me the most. I look at a GLM 4" figure and it's $8.99 and then I look at a MU Spider-Man 2099 and it's $8.49. So I would pay less for a more articulated figure?

Needless to say, the MU toy went home with me.

I might be interested in eventually getting the Movie Masters (and CnC Parallax) if it weren't for the lack of shelf and/or storage space.
